tiadesai Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Influenza (say: in-floo-en-zah) is also called the flu. It's an infection that causes fever, chills, cough, body aches, headaches, and sometimes earaches or sinus problems. The flu is caused by the influenza virus (say: vy-rus). A virus is a microorganism (say: my-croh-or-gah-nih-zum), which means it's so small that you can't see it without a strong microscope. For most people, the flu is a drag, but it goes away in a week or two. But for some people, the flu can make them very sick. Those groups include: * Babies and toddlers under age 2 * People older than 65 * Adults and kids who have health problems, such as diabetes and asthma Flu can be cured with the help of number of medicines with the consultation of the doctor. One of them is Relenza. You can find more information about flu at http://www.drugdelivery.ca/s33713-s-RELENZA.aspx Link to post Share on other sites
